In the Yu Dynasty, a lot of soldiers and horses were stationed in Chang'an, Kyoto.

Not to mention the forbidden army of the imperial city, it specializes in protecting the imperial palace and is under the jurisdiction of the emperor, with about 12,000 people.

Then there are the left and right guards, with 5,000 people each, who are responsible for searching in the capital and guarding the city gates.

In addition to Chang'an, there are two large camps, namely the Eastern Capital Camp and the Xishan Camp, each with 50,000 soldiers and horses.

The leader of the Xishan camp is Cheng Yong, the Duke of Ningguo, who is the first fierce general under Emperor Zhaowu, who is brave and brave, and is also absolutely loyal to Emperor Zhaowu.

And the commander of the Eastern Capital Battalion is Zhao Hongzheng in front of him, who is also a military general, with good ability, he was the guard next to Emperor Zhaowu, and after following the incident, he also made great achievements, and Emperor Zhaowu also trusted him very much.

Although Emperor Zhaowu trusted him very much, Zhao Hongzheng also understood in his heart that once his daughter married into the East Palace, he was afraid that there would be some cracks in this trust.

Instead of this, it is better to take the initiative to hand over the military power, which will make the emperor feel more at ease.

Although he is a military general, his brain is not bad, and what is the situation in the court now, he also knows very well in his heart what the prince wants to marry his daughter, and he is the same as Spiegel in his heart.

The emperor originally arranged for Huo Junyao to be the crown princess, but the prince had to destroy it, and he also dragged his daughter into the water.

Now the rumors outside have taken shape, if his daughter does not marry into the East Palace, she will wait for the end of her life to be lonely, and today the emperor talks to him, and he already has the heart to make mistakes.

He knew very well that the emperor did this, firstly, to ensure that the royal prestige would not be damaged, and secondly, because he was a meritorious hero, and did not want him to chill.

The superiors thought so much about themselves, and he felt that he also had to give up something to show his sincerity.

And the military power of this Eastern Capital battalion is the best sincerity, and the emperor will not allow the prince's faction to have military power in his hands.

The King of Qi is like this, and the King of Chu is the same, the prince has been suppressed so hard over the years, and he only thinks about strengthening himself and crushing the King of Qi and the King of Chu, but he never thought that there are some things that he can't touch.

Now, the emperor has intended to let his daughter enter the East Palace, in order to protect the prince and his daughter, and also to protect the Cao Guo Mansion, and this military power cannot be retained.

"Nonsense, the Eastern Capital Camp was handed over to you by me, and that is trusting you."

"If you hand it back, who will I hand it over?"

He really didn't want the princes to have military power in their hands, but it didn't reach the point of explicitly prohibiting it.

If it is at this time, if he receives the military power in the hands of Cao Guogong, it is not equivalent to directly announcing the people outside, he, the emperor, is afraid, afraid that his son will threaten his position after he has the military power in his hands.

Do you want his face anymore?

This is not only a shame, but also makes his sons feel guilty about him.

Emperor Zhaowu, although he values his imperial power very much, has not reached the point of being intolerant, on the contrary, he is still a very broad-minded person.

He also understood many things very clearly, the Yu Dynasty was going to hand over to his son, and the reason why the princes were fighting may be because they wanted them to check and balance each other, but more importantly, they wanted them to use each other to achieve the effect of tempering.

Why didn't the princes get in touch with military power too early, not because they were afraid that they would turn against themselves.

Instead, I am worried that when they have military power, when they fight with each other, they will make me lose their proportions, first, they will hurt the country, and second, they will not be able to control it.

"You can continue to do your own thing with peace of mind, just grasp the proportions, I am not as careful as you think."

Emperor Zhaowu glared at Zhao Hongzheng, a little angry.

Who do you think I'm like? Is it such an intolerant person?

I am a wise man, with a heart for the world.

"It's the minister who is abrupt, please punish the emperor."

", I'll be angry when I look at you."

Zhao Hongzheng grinned, and the stone he had been carrying in his heart was completely put down.

However, he still took the emperor's words to heart, did his own thing peacefully, and avoided getting involved in the battles between the East Palace and other princes.

"The minister retired."

After Zhao Hongzheng left, Emperor Zhaowu pondered for a moment, and Gao Fu on the side drafted the marriage decree and sent it to the Ministry of Rites, so that they could arrange for someone to read it.

As for when he will get married, he also asked the Ministry of Rites to choose a date first, after all, the prince has not yet turned fifteen years old, and even if he wants to get married, he will have to wait until at least next year.

Gao Fu was ordered to retreat.

Almost at the same time, Empress Shen of Fengqi Palace got the news.

She knew it had come to this point, and that was the only way it could be.

I only hope that she can keep to herself in the future and assist the prince in managing the affairs of the East Palace.

Because it was accepted helplessly, when she went to read the holy decree in the Ministry of Rites, she, as the future mother-in-law, did not give Zhao Yan'er any reward.

Normally, the concubines of the prince are selected by the emperor or queen, and then there will be a will be a decree to the woman.

And following the emperor's decree of marriage, the queen's mother-in-law will give her future daughter-in-law more or less some rewards to show the queen's satisfaction with this daughter-in-law.

The crown prince is from her, and it stands to reason that the princess has the most serious relationship with her, and the reward must be the most generous, but she has not moved at all.

really didn't give any face, which was enough to see how dissatisfied she was with Zhao Yan'er.

The holy decree of the Ministry of Rites soon arrived at the Cao Guo Mansion, but the queen's decree did not come, and Zhao Hongzheng knew the reason for this very well.

Although I feel uncomfortable, it's not easy to say anything, who told my daughter not to be welcomed?

Glancing at the girl with a happy face holding the holy decree on the side, his eyes became cold, and he became more and more disappointed in this girl.

I thought that after she married into the East Palace, I would reduce my dealings with her.

And when this marriage decree was issued, many people in the capital were still very happy, and said that this was a good marriage, and of course they didn't forget to pull Huo Junyao out for comparison.

As soon as the carriage arrived in the capital, many people were heard talking about it along the way.

Especially when she heard that these bastards actually used this to belittle their daughter, the eldest princess of Ningyang's face became very ugly, and she looked at Huo Junyao with some concern.

was worried that she would be sad to hear it, but Huo Junyao was reacted to.

Let them spread the word if they love it, anyway, it has been passed on for so many days, and there are even more ugly ones, and this is not bad.

Besides, she had already divided the prince and Zhao Yan'er into the revenge list in her heart, and it would be better to be together now, so she would have to deal with them separately in the future.

"Yaoyao, don't listen to these people's nonsense, they are all little people who have never seen the world, and they don't have any brains at all, they believe what others say."

Huo Junyao nodded, and handed the old lady a smile that she didn't care about.

But looking at her smile, the eldest princess of Ningyang was even more worried, how could she not react at all, she must have pretended, she didn't want her to worry.

Look at how sensible his daughter is, the bastard prince's virtue, he is not worthy of his daughter.
